' Final United Press International tabulations for the 102-hour holi day showed the traffic toll had surpassed tlie 462 of 19M s Mem orial Day weekend, the previous record for this holiday, and the 509 for the July 4 weekend of 19BI which had stood as the record for a summer-season holiday. The L'PI death count between 6 p.m. Wednesday and midnight Sundav showed a total of 785 fatalities, including a toll of 121 drownings and 15 persons killed in boating mishaps. The breakdown: Traffic 525 Drowning 121 Boating 151 ish. Planes 20 Miscellaneous 104 Total 785 Only Rhode Island escaped with out a single holiday traffic or accidental death. California led the traffic death count with S3. There were 42 in New York Slate. 28 in Texas. 24 in Pennsylvania, 23 in Ohio. 22 in Indiana, 19 in Michigan and 15 in Tennessee. The National Safety Council, which had estimated between 450 and 550 holiday traffic deaths for the holiday, said there were more cars on the highways over the weekend than it had expected. A lot of those men who had ings between the houses peaked. The issue was the hardest-lobbied bill- of two sessions, the "three-way" workmen's compen sation bill. On it rode millions of dollars in business for insurance companies and in benefits for in jured workers. The Senate passed it earlier in the session. The House finally agreed to bring It to a vote Sat urday, and then killed it 34-25. During debate on the "three way" bill, Barton threatened to have a lobbyist expelled from the gallery for sending notes to leg islators. Rep. Victor Atiyeh, R-Beaver-ton. told the House the "three- way" bill "has done damage far beyond the scope of its content, because of its effect on other leg islation." Sales Tax Dies Measures for a sales tax and for registration of lobbyists died quietly. Three college construction bills passed easily. One will ask the voters next May to okay a $30; million bond issue for college in structional bills. Only $12.5 million would be used next biennium. A companion bill adds $11.5 million in general funds for the I963-K5 period. A bill providing for a special tax election, if voters refer the lax program, c'.eaied the legisla ture. The election would be held in October. Gov. Mark Hatfield's commerce department w as approved.

Made Great Accomplishments Because of his age, he had been expected to be only an "interim" pope at tlie time of his election Oct. 28, 1058, but he proved to bo surprisingly strong leader whoso accomplishments were of a stag gering magnitude. In less than five year no achieved a truce in tlie 400-year cold war among Christians by teaching Catholics to look upon Protestants as "separated Drctn crcn." rather than "heretics."

Supreme Com " ruled today that the agency shop, new included in about 6 per cent of all labor con tracts, is permissible under fed eral law but not in states which have outlawed tho union shop. Both decisions were by a unani mous 8-0 vote. The court upheld tho legality of the agency shop under tho Taft-Hartley law in a case from Indiana. It tlien held in a sepa rate Florida case that the agency shop is barred by an anti-union shop law there. The court left undetermined the question of whether Florida courts, rather than the National Labor Relations Board, have ju risdiction to enforce tlie state ban against agency shop arrangements.

Today, the court said the trans fer prozrams being used in Knox viile and Davidson County, which includes Nashville, were unfair to Negroes. In another case, the court ruled 8 1 that a group of Negro chil- dren in an elementary school in!
